Tired of your glossy iPhone 4? Give it a metallic look then!

Metallic BackPlate Mod For iPhone 4

Yes, you can now turn your iPhone 4 with black glossy rear cover into the metallic style iPhone 4 like the picture above by following the guide over at Unplggd. All you will need is a little knowledge to dissemble the iPhone 4 backplate (iFixit’s tutorial is a great resources for this), a custom made $12.99 metallic backplate for iPhone 4 (could be found via eBay or CNN.CN HongKong website), and some bravery to torn apart your beloved iPhone 4.

iPhone 4 - Replacing Default Backplate with Metal Backplate

With the iPhone 4 installed with the cool custom made metallic backplate, the iPhone 4 is now having a better look. The brushed aluminum style is really a good matching to the side silver line. Of course, if we could also exchange the frontface with a similar style, that would be wonderful. However, there is no tutorial on replacing the front face yet, and I guess it might take a lot of courage because you have to meddle with the touchscreen!
